So I pulled the valve covers on my 176K mile Chrysler 2.7 to attempt to fix some leaks and possibly find a misfire code.
Sludgy. Also see the shoe on the cam to cam chain tensioner is askew. There is a Stopblock on the main chain so someone has been in there in the past.
The misfire is a leaky exhaust valve. Since the day I got this car the oil pressure has been low plus it's rattly upon startup. I really like the car so I may toss a motor in it and give it a better diet of oil.
